Good morning Phoenix! It's hump day - rise and shine!

1968: Anti-Vietnam war protesters and police clashed in the streets of Chicago while the Democratic National Convention nominated Hubert H. Humphrey for president.
1981: The Centers for Disease Control announced a medical task force had been formed to look into the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma and pneumocystis in homosexual men. AIDS was later found to be the cause.

Strange laws – in honor of the anniversary of the Democratic National Convention riots, the strange laws are from Chicago:
In Chicago:
It is legal to protest naked in front of city hall as long as you are under seventeen years of age and have legal permits.
All businesses entering into contracts with the city must sift through their records and report any business they had dealing with slaves during the era of slavery.
It is forbidden to fish while sitting on a giraffe’s neck.

Have a fangtastic Midnight Breed day!
